Meeting rules Openness : Contributions welcome from Members as well as Participants Welcome to more “recent” contributors Work based on written contributions received before the meeting : Focused on refining and deciding on options fundamentally new ideas or open questions as outcome of this meeting could jeopardize timeline Keep interventions concise and focused One topic per intervention is best practice Co-chairs may introduce a 2 minutes timer This applies to chairs and rapporteurs as well… Day 1 & Day 2 meetings are different meetings Enable „two readings“ on items that are broadly supported

Key criteria for decision making NTIA criteria Support and enhance the multistakeholder model; Maintain the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet DNS; Meet the needs and expectation of the global customers and partners of the IANA services; Maintain the openness of the Internet. The proposal can not replace the NTIA role with a government-led or an inter-governmental organization solution. CWG Stewardship requirements Consensus to be found across Members of the CCWG Existence of two work streams for CCWG

Work stream 1 / Work stream 2 Work Stream 1 mechanisms are those that, when in place or committed to, would provide the community with confidence that any accountability mechanism that would further enhance ICANN's accountability would be implemented if it had consensus support from the community, even if it were to encounter ICANN management resistance or if it were against the interest of ICANN as a corporate entity.
